I'd expect to find this information in Policy, since it's a matter of system integration and package-to-package interaction. Dpkg has no control over whether a postinst starts a daemon or not. For init.d based init systems, policy 9.3.3.1 indeed documents exactly what you need to do to install a daemon that is disabled by default. This section should be extended to document the interface for systemd. Simon
